We are seeing a hot afternoon under which a peasant is working on his vegetable garden.The realistic approach of the painting gives it a solid and original orientation to the painting. As if the artist tried to give us the glimpse of the place without adding any artistic flavours.
It is just a plain view of a day in which one of the working peasants is bent over the ground. It could be represented as a resemblance to the daily life of a peasant in the country or any labour around the world. The deliberate realistic angel gives the subject its originality. You can’t depict a hard-working labour with calorific and decorative way to describe his hardship or his daily work. The description should be close to the reality and that’s what stands out in this watercolour painting.
